Alexander Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Which controller are you using? If you are using the Jazz or M91 you may be able to use a U90 Special Function to combine two MI's into a ML within the ladder. You can find the instructions in the U90 Help file under Ladder/ Functions/ Special Functions: without Elements/ 'Long' Integer functions. Also possible would be to use a secondary counter to represent large values such as 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000. A comparison statement could be used so that every 10,000 pulses, a secondary counter would increase by 1. Then the count could be reset. This would involve using multiple comparison statements later to compare the numbers, but may work as a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
